of course you dont. -_-
*sigh*

Part 1:
the Opteron 165 is a highly popular dual core processor usually capable of over 2.8GHz OCs, it has the same specs as an FX-57 which also runs at 2.8GHz, but this one is a dual core. so you virtually have two FX-57s when OCed to 2.8GHz+.
the FX-57 is $1011 on newegg
the 165 is $355 on newegg
very popular, very good deal

Part 2:

this is an Integrated Heat Spreader, aka IHS. it is just a piece of metal.

this is a typical A64 CPU with the IHS taken off. it is the actual CPU.

Part 3:
the auction description clearly states the following:
"You are bidding on an AMD Opteron 165 Integrated Heat Spreader. It was pulled from an dual core processor I purchased at NewEgg a couple weeks ago."

it means you are bidding for the piece of metal.

Part 4:
the auction ended with a winning bid of US $283.00.

The FX chip set is dual core, all opterons are dual core (AFAIK). So really its not like having two, unless both chips in the FX = 2.8GHZ and each chip in the opteron equal 2.8GHZ ( when OC'ed of course ).

And why is the FX 57 so much more expensive???

the FX-60 chip is dual core (dual FX-55s), all previous FX chips are single.

not all Opterons are dual core, the Opteron 144, 146 and 148 for example, are single core processors.

to say all of the chips for either series are dual core is illogical, both series existed before dual core chips were released.

The wrote up the add like this
